[Note: TTAC translation after the jump.] “About a month ago, “GT-R will be suspended orders,” “a temporary stop of the factory production line,” or “to raise RERURASHII” such as spreading rumors. Many were picked up by car magazines, so many of you already know it. In fact, readers have also been inquiries about the matter, MENAKATTA reliable information for the article said. However, “the temporary suspension order” of the rumors, apparently was real We found that around October 6 from the dealer orders for the GT-R has been temporarily suspended. However, the resumption of orders from what is not known at the time. On the other hand, “a factory production line” and “raised” about the rumors about the missing evidence. Rumors about the two of the following hypothesis is based. “Hike” about the current economic situation surrounding the automotive industry and raise the performance of Nissan North America, will be given a very high probability. On the other hand, “is evolving every year,” said Mizuno’s remarks were as CVE, GT-R will adopt the IYAMODERU. Released after one year from now, but it is not equal to the period. If this year will be the timing of design changes. “Temporary stop of the factory production line” rumors, the line for renovation under the influence would come true. In any case, GT-R is considering a purchase if the sales rep and keep in close communication is necessary. However, a formal case for release from Nissan. Mizuno’s really in the head, such as Spec V story, including what is being depicted?

So, orders for Japanese-market GTR’s have been stopped, but there’s no news yet about how this will affect the American availability of Godzilla. Since Nissan isn’t making any announcements, the entire situation is pretty much a guessing game. GTR Blog thinks it could have something to do with material costs. Jalopnik figures the GTR could be a victim of launch control/warranty issues or (even less plausibly) the Porsche Nurburgring drama. The truth is likely to be far more mundane, but until we hear from Nissan we got nothing but rumors.

( NEW) GTR R35 VS C6 Z06 - first street race.

    Maybe Porsche embarrassed them or something! Nah...

    They have to stall production in order to find a transmission that doesn't shatter when using the launch control.

  • THX1136 Always liked the Mustang though I've never owned one. I remember my 13 yo self grabbing some Ford literature that Oct which included the brochure for the Mustang. Using my youthful imagination I traced the 'centerfold' photo of the car AND extending the roof line back to turn it into a small wagon version. At the time I thought it would be a cool variant to offer. What was I thinking?!
  • GregLocock That's a bodge, not a solution. Your diff now has bits of broken off metal floating around in it.
  • The Oracle Well, we’re 3-4 years in with the Telluride and right around the time the long term durability issues start to really take hold. This is sad.
  • CoastieLenn No idea why, but nothing about a 4Runner excites me post-2004. To me, they're peak "try-hard", even above the Wrangler and Gladiator.
  • AZFelix A well earned anniversary.Can they also attend to the Mach-E?
